Dell VKDD2 495 Watts Platinum Power Supply For PowerEdge R730

Product Description

The Dell VKDD2 power supply unit is a 495 Watt component engineered with 80 PLUS Platinum certification, signifying exceptional energy efficiency. This high efficiency rating means that less energy is wasted as heat during the power conversion process, leading to reduced electricity consumption and lower operating costs for the server. It is specifically designed for the Dell PowerEdge R730 server, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal integration with the server's internal architecture and cooling systems. This PSU provides a stable and reliable source of power, crucial for the continuous operation of demanding server workloads. The 495 Watt capacity is suitable for a wide range of configurations within the PowerEdge R730, supporting its processors, memory, storage, and other components. The unit operates across a broad input voltage range of 100-240 V AC and a standard 50-60 Hz frequency, making it adaptable for use in various global data center environments. Furthermore, the VKDD2 is designed to be hot-swappable. This critical feature allows for the replacement of a power supply unit without needing to shut down the server, thereby ensuring maximum uptime and minimizing disruption to services. When deployed in a redundant configuration (typically with two PSUs), it provides fault tolerance, meaning if one unit fails, the other automatically takes over the load, safeguarding against unexpected downtime and ensuring high availability for critical applications hosted on the PowerEdge R730.
